California Dreaming

Monte really wanted to attend a solar energy conference in Long Beach, CA, in September. After much consideration, we decided it was worth the expense, and we'll all go. The conference is for two days, and we'll go for the whole week. It's the week of his birthday and our anniversary, so we'll have a nice celebratory vacation.

Of course, we don't have a place to stay yet. The nearby hotels are booked, but we're looking at some condos for rent. We've found a couple that are right on the beach, but we just need to verify availability.

Isaac heard us talking about California, and asked if we were going. We should have known better than to tell him this early. He is so excited about going, because that's where Lightning McQueen went to race. He believes that he will go there in Daddy's truck, and he'll see Lightning. As he put it at bedtime the other night, "Lightning McQueen loves me. He wants to meet me. Thank you God for California." We believe that Disney's California Adventure has a Cars character meet, so we're looking into tickets for that. But we won't tell him! Shh - it's a surprise!
